Transcripts
remember owlicious he first appeared in
the season 1 episode owl's well that
ends well in case you need a reminder
the episode is about this owl owlicious
just randomly finding Twilight Sparkle
who she takes a liking to she takes him
in as a new assistant much to the
displeasure of Spike anyways alosh just
barely appears again in the show let
alone has an episode where he's the main
focus I'll just quickly list off most of
his appearances since his debut and then
we can make a guess on what happened to
him he appears once in season 2 and may
the best pet win he doesn't have any
specific relevance to the plot however
he does have a lot of scenes where he's
in the focus which proves that he's
still important to Twilight he appears
twice in season 3 in Magic Duel trying
to collect falling books however in just
for Sidekicks he has a much bigger role
being the voice of reason to spike when
he's looking over everyone's pets in
season 4 he actually had quite a few
Appearances first in mod Pai when he's
with the other pets and skipping ahead a
bit in Twilight's Kingdom part 2 when
Twilight's house gets blown up
awolicious is seen flying away and then
he kind of just dips from the entire
show in season 5 he does appear again
but his role is very minimal but it is
confirmation that Twilight managed to
track back down outside of an episode
that we didn't get to see or he just
found his way back to work now what's
artists that avalicious didn't appear at
all or wasn't even mentioned at all of
season six and throughout season 7 and 8
he's seen in four episodes as a photo so
yeah finally in season 9 he appears one
last time in the last problem but it
wasn't even a physical appearance it was
just in a song so with all that said why
is it that owlicious became less and
less relevant throughout the show's run
let's take a look back at the episode
owl's well that ends well let's inspect
owlicious's relationships with Twilight
and Spike I mean Twilight seems to be
mad trusting of some random owl that she
just met whereas spike is more skeptical
of him albeit it's out of jealousy but
still Spike thinks throughout this
episode that there's something more
Sinister going on with this owl in fact
the first time Spike meets him this is
how he's presented hello oh
doesn't that look a little evil also
there's quite a few other shots where he
looks evil his design even kind of looks
like a watching robot no I mean like his
eyes look like cameras and may the best
pet win we get to see another owl who
has less robotic looking eyes I think
the fact that both of these owls are
shown in the same episode isn't
coincidence it's trying to tell us that
owlicious is different my point is what
if he's actually a robot Spy for who
specifically I'm really not sure but I
do know that Twilight's worst days were
yet to come ever since he dipped what if
alicious was a secret spy or
surveillance tool for cozy glow or
something obviously this is pretty much
just head Canon on my part but if
there's nothing in the show directly
contradicts your opinions or thoughts is
there really any harm in thinking about
stuff this way there's this thing called
a toy list View and the watsonian view
what that means is how in the original
Sherlock Holmes series the author's name
was Arthur Conan Doyle hence the term
doilist view but the in-universe
character who's chronicling Sherlock
Holmes's Adventures was his assistant Dr
Watson hence watsonian View essentially
the toy list view is the real world
explanation such as oh I don't know the
writers simply forgot about Alicia's or
they just didn't have any uses for him
the what sodium view is the in Universe
explanation like something that I just
theorized this whole Toy list versus
watsonia view is probably going to be a
recurring Concept in my future videos so
I hope that made sense speaking of which
I mean I guess the most logical answer
is probably that there was barely any
use for owlicious after his introduction
which was probably always supposed to be
some one-off episode honestly now that I
think about it I challenge you to come
up with some episode plot that actually
has something to do with avalicious I
mean is there anything more that we need
to see about this guy what I fade odd
though is how in the later Seasons he
only appeared in photos which means that
the writers still remembered him but
didn't care enough to actually put the
physical guy anywhere which does make
you think whatever the reason may be I
think owlicious might remain as one of
the strangest characters in My Little
Pony especially because nobody can even
agree how to spell his name make sure to
tell me what you think in the comments
below feel free to subscribe for future
videos like this where I will delve into
a bunch of unexplained very little pony
stuff see ya
